In a quiet lab at Utrecht University, researchers have built a tool that lets you watch one of life’s most serious crises ...

Mitochondrial DNA has long been treated as a workhorse record of cellular history, but new research suggests it also hides a subtle and previously overlooked form of damage. By uncovering this cryptic ...

The CRISPR gene editing technique has had a dramatic influence on biomedical research, and has even been applied to a few ...

Clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) subtypes, specifically non- DNMT3A genes, were associated with incident heart failure in older patients in a recent study published in JAMA ...

Scientists searching for new ways to combat cancer think they may have uncovered a promising new lead in the DNA of the ...

The findings may have important implications for diseases linked to mitochondrial dysfunction. A newly identified form of DNA damage inside mitochondria, the small structures that supply energy to our ...

Researchers identified a new, sticky form of mitochondrial DNA damage that builds up at dramatically higher levels than in ...

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have shown that DNA inflexibility, or rigidity, inside the nucleosome regulates the positioning of INO80. This highlights that the ...

Scientists have created a live-cell DNA sensor that reveals how damage appears and disappears inside living cells, capturing ...

New live-cell DNA damage sensor lets scientists watch repair unfold in real time, potentially opening doors for cancer and aging research.

A new hereditary condition has been discovered that affects patients' ability to repair DNA – leaving them both at greater risk of developing blood cancer, and unable to repair some of the damage ...
